NO. 23—CATHERINE I; The Peasant Girl Who Fought Her | Way to a Throne. HE began life as Martha Skovronsky, cook in a Swe dich pastor's house at Marlenburg. And she married a Swedish soldier who was quartered there. The Russians captured the town. Martha's hus band ran away. His wife never again saw him. Martha herself was sold into slavery and was bought by a Russian Prince., In this Prince's palace, at Mo* cow, she met Peter the Great, Czar of Russia, Peter fell in luve with her and married her. Her nome was changed from Martha to Catherine. And the former cook was crowned Empress of Russia. Peter the Great was a fierce, bear-like man, wild | of temper, frequently drunk. But he was a genius. | He changed Russia from a \1rbaric region into a civilized nation. Having done that he proceeded to make war on most of his neighbors. It was a land and an age when women were regarded as little better than playthings or housekeepers, Catherine refused io play such stay-at- home roles. When Peter went to war she went with him. She cut short her beautiful hair, wore the uniform of a Colonel, and endured camp hardships at her husband's side. The soldiers adored her. | After ten hours in the saddle on a march she often spent the nignt work- \ing in the camp hospitals, deftly nursing the sick and wounded. Nor was this all her activity In war time. She nad a real genius fog military matters. She helped Peter map out campaigns and direct the course of battles, She stood between him and the results of his crazy fits | of temper. Once, during the disastrous campaign of Pruth, the Russian Army was completely hemmed in by the Turks and was cut off from all hope of reinforcements or } supplies, Peter could find no way out of the trap. In his despair he fell on his knees at his wife's feet, sobbing “Catherine, why did you come here to see me die? For I shall kill my- self sooner than fall into the clutches of these infidels! 1 swear it!” Catherine drew his rugged head to her breast and began to sing to him. | Presently the distraught Czar was sleeping like a child. \ Then Catherine went to her own tent and collected all her money and welry. This she carried to the Turkish Commander in Chief as a bribe to ORR eeeeeeeee j let the Russians escape 1 er beauty and wit, as much as the rich gl |-rurk to pity. He granted her request, and let the helpless Russi get away in safety. Thus Catherine saved not only her husband, but the future of her hus biaed's empire as well. .
